For the purist, the Anniversary 8-Day Wind Ship's Bell Clock dispenses with batteries altogether. Its hand-crafted German Hermle movement with eleven jewels runs on a spring you wind once a week, and it strikes the watch bells every half hour.
A weekly ritual
Winding a fine clock every week is a pleasure many owners would not be without. Weems & Plath quotes an expected accuracy of around two minutes, and the bell silencer lets you enjoy quiet hours while the movement runs on.
The solid forged brass case is hand-polished and lacquered, the etched dial is quietly spectacular, and the hinged bezel opens with a push button for easy access to the winding arbors.
